Marconi's Patents were denied as there was prior art by Nikola Tesla which predates Popov, so Nikola Tesla invented the radio.

"Making a definitive claim of who was first is complicated by inadequate documentation of events, conflicting definitions of what constitutes a radio, and national pride."

Not the original patent for the radio. Later improvements to the tuner were invalidated as not being novel enough to grant patent rights to.
